Paper #2 Final Draft: Strength One way to define the word strength is to have a capacity for endurance. Such can be said about the main characters in the short story “Shame” by Dick Gregory an the poem “Power” by Adrienne Rich. Being strong with yourself lets people know you are not going to give up. “It seemed she denied to the end the source of cataracts on her eyes”… (line 10-11). Only one with immense strength would be able to work through this kind of illness. Marie Curie‚ whom this poem

shouldn’t judge a book by its cover‚ yet everyday people are judged by their race‚ by what they wear‚ and by the color of their skin. My race shouldn’t play a role of segregation instead it should bring us all together. What I wear shouldn’t be a shame‚ instead it should be a crown of pride. The mass of myelin in my skin shouldn’t play a significant role of making me different‚ instead it should show who I really am‚ a human.

One aspect of Marshall Gregory’s article‚ “Junk-Yard Rided‚” that I find confusing is Gregory’s relationship with God and religion. Did Gregory see religion as a positive aspect of his life or a negative one? It is quite puzzling to follow his commentary on religion as he constantly contradicts himself.
